Don't Turn Your Nose Up At The TikTok Viral Feta Pasta. It's Big For A ...
It's shocking for a few reasons that it took me so long to make the feta pasta that went viral on TikTok a few weeks ago. First, it is almost ridiculously easy to cook. Second, despite having a whole library of cookbooks, I seem to almost exclusively pick up new recipes from TikTok these days. Finally, I already eat so much feta it feels like Greece might one day thank me for personally contributing such a significant wedge of my income to its GDP.
People cannot get enough of this pasta. Katie Collins/CNETIn case you haven't already heard of it, the TikTok feta pasta is a recipe that can be traced back to Finnish food blogger Jenni Hayrinen, who told Today that it became so popular in Finland that stores there ran out of feta. At the end of January, a number of TikTok creators picked up on the recipe and helped send it viral. (The feta pasta hashtag on the platform now boasts almost 515 million views.)
After seeing the recipe pop up on my For You page a dozen or so times and then seeing it cross over to Instagram, I finally decided to take one of the several blocks of feta that sit in my fridge at all times and give it a whirl.
I had some reservations -- we're going all-in on fresh tomatoes in February? Really? -- but as someone who would eat pasta for every meal if that was a socially acceptable lifestyle choice, it didn't take much to convince me. So you might be wondering, as many people in TikTok comments have wondered, is it actually any good?
It's pasta, cheese and tomatoes -- of course it's delicious. I knew it would be, simply because I've been making variations of this dish since I was 14 years old and started cooking up afternoon snacks for my friends and me to eat in bed during school holidays. It didn't change my life or blow my mind, but it did bring me comfort and joy on a cold, gray February evening. That's the magic of cheesy pasta for you.
Some users and food reviewers have been underwhelmed or downright unimpressed with the TikTok pasta, saying the recipe is overhyped, but I'd argue they're missing the point. What we have here is a communal food event that anyone can partake in, at a time when coming together to break bread isn't possible.
The fact that thousands (or millions, if you go by TikTok views) of people around the world have in recent weeks gone to their kitchens, placed cheese on a tray, licked the salty residue from their fingers, heard the soft thuds of tomatoes cascading down around it, drizzled the oil, sprinkled the seasoning and smelled the hot, sweet garlicky air gasp from their ovens, before crushing everything together to make a swirling pink carby mess -- it's kind of remarkable when you think about it.
Eating meals with others has been a bonding experience since the dawn of human civilization. It's quite heartening to know that in spite of everything holding us apart right now, we are still finding ways to make food a shared cultural experience.
That the recipe is simple and fail-safe isn't a flaw in my eyes. Instead, that's what makes it wonderful and appealing, likely contributing to its viral success. This ain't Bon Appetit, but it's accessible cooking for all levels -- something food TikTok should get credit for more widely. The rookie can embark on this journey and gain confidence. The expert can throw it together and find comfort.
The combination of accessibility and the payoff -- four hearty portions -- sets this apart from other viral recipes that have whipped the internet into a frenzy over the last year amid a pandemic-driven lockdown. Unlike sourdough, banana bread or "the cookies," at the end of the day you were always going to make dinner. So why not make this?
It probably shouldn't be overlooked that many of us have hit a wall in one way or another. If you're anything like me, the endless cycle of cooking and washing up (even with a dishwasher, so much washing up) that comes with eating every single meal in your own home has made it hard to find the energy to try something new. Then there's the sense that if you do branch out, the recipe should be elaborate or exotic and add new skills to your culinary arsenal.
But there's no need to turn making dinner into some misguided self-improvement exercise. The TikTok pasta shows it can be as easy as switching up how you choose to apply heat. If you want to jazz the TikTok pasta up and make it your own, that's cool, but it's also great just as it is.
I've seen people add extra veg or honey or balsamic, or make it with boursin instead of feta, or use spaghetti squash instead of pasta. (You do you, but carbs aren't your enemy, this recipe comes in at under 500 calories for dinner, so eat the pasta if you want it.) Sometimes though, especially in times of high anxiety, it's nice just to have nothing more to worry about than four ingredients, some seasoning and a little oil.
And with that, here's how I made it (it took around 40 minutes in total, and I did an online exercise class while it was in the oven):
This was before I added the basil, but you get the idea. Katie Collins/CNET Ingredients1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. Place the feta in the center of roasting pan or tray, add in the tomatoes and unpeeled garlic cloves around the side, trying to ensure everything is in a single layer.
3. Drizzle over the olive oil, sprinkle over the seasoning and then give everything a good shake or mix with your hands (or both).
4. Pause to take a photo for your Instagram stories.
5. Place tomatoes and feta in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta until it's al dente, then drain, but reserving some of the pasta water in case you need it.
7. Remove tomatoes from the oven and using tongs, remove the garlic cloves.
8. While you let them cool for a moment, take a fork and mash up the tomatoes and feta, being careful not to let hot tomato juice jump up and hit you in the eye. If it's too dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up a bit.
9. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, mash them up and stir them back into the tomato feta sauce with the pasta and some torn-up basil.
10. Serve in four equal portions. (It keeps great in the fridge for lunch the next day.)
The 8 Best TikTok Pasta Recipes: Penne Vodka, Creamy Lemon & More - Bustle
Among the virtual smorgasbord of satisfying videos on TikTok, there is a community of dedicated foodies who are creating content that is equal parts educational and downright entertaining. A shock to literally no one is that the hashtag #Pasta has amassed a whopping 15.8 billion views on TikTok. Viewers are lucky because thanks to the booming noodle society on the app, there is never a shortage of gooey, buttery pasta dishes to recreate at home if you're eager to spice things up in the kitchen.
Think back to April 2020 when supermodel Gigi Hadid posted a tutorial for spicy vodka pasta on her Instagram story and subsequently started a viral trend that would boom on pretty much every social media platform, especially TikTok (which became the world's most downloaded app during the first quarter of 2020 with 315 million downloads in that period alone).
Then there was the baked feta pasta of Jan. 2021 which quickly gained traction and was even made into a goat cheese version (recipe below). Social media-famous plates aside, pasta is simply a staple for its relatively quick cooking time and sheer versatility — meaning that if you wanted to, you could have fettuccine on Monday and ravioli on Tuesday without getting tired of it because hey, they taste different.
If you're over having the same old spaghetti twice a week for din, look no further because here are eight TikTok pasta recipes from #PastaTok that are proven to take your nightly noodles to the next level.
Creamy Lemon PastaFor anyone who loves a little bit of citrusy zest, this creamy lemon pasta is something of a dream come true. User @cookingwithbello details his recipe for the dish in his Sept. 2021 TikTok video, which now has 1.7 million views. The recipe mainly consists of linguine, lemon, heavy cream, and fresh garlic cloves for a light, yet flavorful plate of sheer happiness. Buon Appetito.
Not Your Mother's Buttered NoodlesAs a quick late-night meal (or TBH, just a normal day's lunch), buttered noodles are and will always be the move. This childhood favorite with a twist is probably the most effortless of them all to whip up, being that the only extra ingredient here is some good ol' chicken bouillon — as recommended by user @britscookin. Add some parsley and fresh parmesan to taste and you're set.
One Pot Tuscan PastaIf you're craving something more filling, this one-pot Tuscan pasta by @halfbakedharvest is loaded with chicken, veggies (hello, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes), and the creamiest sauce made with butter and cream to tie it all together. The best part? You can cook everything in just one pot so there's minimal kitchen mess.
Penne alla VodkaAt least one form of spicy vodka pasta had to make it on this list and this tutorial by @matthewinthekitchen is one for the books (ahem, your Favorites tab). Rich with garlic, shallots, and red chili pepper flakes, this tomato cream pasta can also be infused with vodka to balance out the taste to perfection.
Baked Goat Cheese PastaThis take on the TikTok-famous baked feta pasta is worth a try, especially if you're not a huge fan of feta cheese. User @feelgoodfoodie simply swapped out the block of feta for goat cheese, which has a lighter taste and fluffier texture. P.S., commenters even suggested trying this recipe with mozzarella — a concept.
Giant Spinach Pesto FusiliThis giant spinach pesto fusili is more on the adventurous side, but what even is pasta if not one of the more fun foods to eat? Vegan chef @chefpriyanka says in her March 12 TikTok video, "This is no ordinary pasta so this is no ordinary sauce." Accurate, as the fusili is mega-sized and the spinach jalapeño pesto sauce officially makes this pasta dish greener than your average.
Oven-Baked SpaghettiAnother one-pot wonder is this oven-baked spaghetti by @fooddolls that mimics a traditional stovetop spaghetti in just one pot. Layer your uncooked pasta, spices, and sauce into an oven-safe dish before mixing in water and popping it in the oven to cook. Be sure to finish with a generous amount of cheese and bake again for a few more minutes until you have a golden, melted layer on top.
Creamy Cajun Chicken PastaAmp up the flavor with this creamy Cajun chicken pasta that is pepper-heavy and chili flake-centric. User @moribyan starts with marinating chicken cutlets in an ultra flavorful chili powder before giving it a nice sauté. She then tosses mushrooms, red peppers, and green peppers into a hot pan, mixes with heavy cream, cheese, and seasonings before adding in the pasta. Considering how loaded this dish is, surprisingly all you need is half an hour to cook up this bad boy.
